Why this deposition matters
Fetzer’s book and related publications attacked Noah Pozner’s death certificate and the official account of his death. The Carver deposition is part of the discovery record Pozner developed before the circuit court granted summary judgment on defamation in June 2019 and before the October 2019 jury trial that awarded $450,000. It preserves sworn testimony connected to the medical examiner’s work—identification, examination, and related facts—so readers can compare claims in the case to what was said under oath.
Use the video and the transcript together. The YouTube file is the recorded examination; the PDF is the court reporter’s transcript mirrored on this site’s deposition page. Clips circulating elsewhere often omit context; the full recording and the 102-page PDF are the reliable versions for citation.
